There is no single solution to preventing and slowing climate change. Purchasing carbon offsets is one part of a wider range of initiatives which includes:
- Looking for opportunities to reduce energy consumption such as switching off your lights
- Replacing fuel alternatives with low or no emission alternatives
- Offsetting the remaining emissions where they can’t be reduced or replaced, for instance through activities such as air travel, energy consumption or embodied carbon.
Purchasing offsets is something which is accessible by all and facilitates quick immediate action for the individual or business , by investing in a reduction else where you may claim that reduction for yourself which subsequently can be deducted from your own Carbon Footprint. |
